Aston Martin’s 2019 DTM challenger has made its on-track debut at the Jerez circuit ahead of pre-season testing.

As R-Motorsport are set to embark on their first season of racing in DTM, the noise coming from the team had fans worried on whether they would be ready in time as they had such little time to build the car.

This seemed more likely to be the case when Aston Martin and R-Motorsport were not able to reveal the car during their launch event which took place at the teams base in Switzerland last month.

They instead showed off a ‘art car’ that showed the rough shape and design elements of the car.

R-Motorsport has now also completed their driver line-up for their 2019 campaign by adding Daniel Juncadella who will drive alongside 2010 DTM Champion Paul di Resta, Ferdinand Habsburg and Jake Dennis.

The new R-Motorsport DTM car was unvield earlier this week when Paul di Resta took the car out for six laps during its shakedown run at the infamous Jerez circuit on Monday.
